Gardening is one of the many ways people are able to express creativity. The use of decoratives in your gardening allows you to express yourself, but at the same time they can provide horticultural benefits to your plants.  Black Gold® has a product line of decoratives to fill your creative needs.

 By adding Black Gold® Charcoal to a Black Gold® potting soil, you can increase the moisture retention in the mix. This would be desirable if you are growing ferns, African violets, pitcher plants or other houseplants that are sensitive to drying out. Due to its inert qualities, Black Gold® Charcoal can also be added to an orchid mix to add structure to grow the orchid.

Black Gold® Orchid Bark is both horticulturally functional and decorative at the same time. The fine grade bark version is best used for thin rooted orchids like Neofinetia types and as smaller bark mulch for use in houseplants. The medium grade version would be ideal for medium diameter orchid roots like Odontoglossum types and as larger bark mulch for use in a houseplant. Black Gold® Orchid Bark can also be use a mix component for an orchid enthusiast wanting to make their own orchid mix.

Container gardeners have used Black Gold® Wash Gravel (naturally colored pea gravel) and Black Gold® White Rock for years. The decorative nature makes it ideal for use in potted plants, terrariums and bonsai.  The gravel can also be used in cactus dish gardens and between flower pots and saucers to aid in drainage. This white rock can also be used as a medium to force spring bulbs.

Black Gold® Washed Sand can be added to Black Gold® potting soils to increase their bulk density and make it easier to grow plants outside in more windy garden locations. This screened and washed sand has become a favorite for cactus growers because it makes an ideal mix component for avid cactus gardeners wanting to make their own mix. Black Gold® Washed Sand can be use in flower arrangements and as a medium to force spring bulbs.

Black Gold® decoratives allow the casual gardener to have the tools necessary to get expert gardener results.
